Lacey and Larkin Frontera Fund is one of the organizations that offer financial aid to individual and foundations that help immigrants in Arizona. It has been striving to ensure that the rights of all the immigrants in the region are respected, and they also have freedom of speech. Michael Lacey and Jim Larkin are the owners and managers of the fund. The two individuals are renowned journalists in Arizona.

They founded Village Voice Media and Phoenix New Times, which are leading newspapers in the region. Jim and Michael once wrote a story about the Maricopa County Sheriff, Joe Arpaio, and how he was being protected by a grand jury. The article led to their arrest in 2007 because they had failed to respect the jury’s privacy. Sheriff Arpaio was well-known in the region for abuse of his power by oppressing immigrants. He worked with his deputy sheriffs to create unfair policies and also enforced immigration laws at highway checkpoints. Read more: Michael Larcey | Twitter and Michael Larcey | Facebook

The grand jury discouraged journalists from publishing negative articles about Joe Arpaio by intimidating them in court. One of its unfair moves was the issue a subpoena that demanded of the revealing of the names of the people who read articles about the sheriff on the New Times’ website. The attorney general terminated the prosecution of the two journalists since there were no grounds for making a case.

The nonprofit offers free legal services at its offices in San Diego. Over the years, Border Angels have been working with volunteers to provide clean water to immigrants who are traveling to the United States. The organization has also been informing people about border policies. It has organized many trips to the Mexican border to enable individuals to understand immigration laws.

The immigrants who live in San Diego County greatly acknowledge the efforts of the Border Angel. The activities of the organizations have helped in reducing the number of immigrants who die in the region.

In 2014, Border Angels made significant donations to children who had arrived at the Central America border without being accompanied by any adults. This was an immigration crisis for the country. The charity organization offered the children food, books, toys, and clothes. It mobilized volunteers to counter protestors who did not want the children to enter the country.
